CHAPTER II
LITERATURE REVIEW A.
English Language
As described in the previous sections, English has many roles, it as a foreign language and it as an international language. Indonesia considers English as a foreign
language in the education context, and as an international language in the business context. According to Richards in Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and
Applied Linguistics, the English as a foreign language EFL is the role of English in countries where it is taught as a subject in schools but not used as a medium of
instruction in education nor as a language of communication within the country. It is usually taught as a required secondary school subject and almost always one of some
foreign language options in EFL country, Indonesia for example but it has been required in elementary school since 1994. English as an International language has
become a tool for language communication in transportation, commerce, banking, tourism, technology, diplomacy, and scientific research Brown, 1994. It is used
when the mother tongue of the people speaking is varying, for example, when an Indonesian and a Japanese businessman use English to negotiate a business contract,
so that English is chosen as the language of International communication.
